What Five Foot Way publishes from readers, what it will not take, and how to send an idea before you write it.

Batik, songket, sarong and how to wear them

The magazine is small and the city is not. If you know a thing worth writing down — the right way to order at a stall, what a gate does when a card is short, how a festival is actually kept in your neighbourhood — we would like to publish it.

What we take

Short, useful, first-hand pieces: 500 to 800 words, one subject, real figures you have seen with your own eyes. We do not take opinion columns, press releases, or anything written to place a link — paid material goes in the guest catalogue and is labelled, never in the sections.

How to send it

Write to [email protected] with the idea in three sentences before you write the piece. Photographs are welcome if they are yours or free-licensed, with the author’s name attached. Everything published carries your name unless you ask otherwise.
